| 177273 | 2003-09-23 05:19:00 | I’ve got a Compac S710 17inch monitor, which although the brightness and contrast are flat out on 100 produces a picture one would normally expect if the adjustments were each set at 40. I thought I’d tweak the screen adjustment on the fly-back transformer only to find both adjustments appear to be focus? Can someone point me in the right direction? Bob |

| 177274 | 2003-09-23 05:56:00 | What you are looking for is the A1's which have changed from the manual control you usually use, to automatically contolled by some electronics, to keep the level constant. So basically the tube is getting tired. What brand of tube is it? |

| 177275 | 2003-09-23 22:31:00 | Hi Phoenix, Yes the tube itself is my worst fear. The other thing that points to the tube is it’s very slow to fire up. The tube is a Samsung, manufactured June 2000, so I would have expected it to last longer than 3 years. Does not look good does it. |

| 177276 | 2003-09-23 22:39:00 | Yeah, samsung haven't got a great name for their CRT's. I still remember several Unisys 15" monitors around the 2yr old mark having stuffed tubes. I have tried to rejuvinate them but have had no success at all with Samsung tubes. | Pheonix (280) | ||

| 177278 | 2003-09-24 21:05:00 | Just one last query. (I’m 90% sure the tube is dying) Is it possible for a incorrect driver Video Driver to cause a Brightness/Contrast problem of this nature? Bob |

| 177279 | 2003-09-24 21:16:00 | Not that I am aware of. Substitution of another monitor on your PC , or your monitor on another PC should prove that, if you could. At least it would quell any doubts in your mind then. | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 177280 | 2003-09-24 22:38:00 | If the onboard controls can't liven up your screen and you have an agp card why not just boost the gamma/ brightness/ contrast with the software app that comes with your card ? Not a elegant solution but better than shining a torch at your screen. | the highlander (245) | ||
| 177281 | 2003-09-25 04:53:00 | The Monitor is the same regardless of computer. Having said that, none of the computers it’s been tried on have a specialised driver installed, nor do they have a AGP card. I see Drivers.com have a driver for it so I might give that a try. A typical case of a drowning man clutching at straws. :D |
